Peaceful Slumber

At

Akers passed quietly away last Sunday evening, April 18, 1909.The evening was spent around the family
hearth in a very cheerful manner and grandma was feeling in the very best of

o’clock, she called her daughter, saying that she had an intense suffering in
her breast.As she became no easier, the
doctor was summoned, but her Savior soon called her to her home above, for
about eleven-thirty o’clock, she passed peacefully away.The cause of her death was either apoplexy or
the bursting of a blood vessel in the region of the chest.

1885.Since that time, her children and
grandchildren have looked forward to the time when Grandma was coming to spend
some weeks with them, though she made her home with her son, C. E. Akers, who
lived on the home place until a few years ago, when he went to Oklahoma.

Mrs.
Akers was taken to Marceline Tuesday, and the funeral services were conducted
Wednesday at Bethel
church, five miles south of Marceline, the church where her life of service was

ANDERSON, William Andrew

OBITUARY

William Andrew
Anderson was born in Knox county, Illinois,
June 18, 1860.Came with his parents,
Peter and Christina Anderson, to Macon county, Missouri, in 1871 and
settled on a farm near where the deceased has resided for the past twenty
years.

He was married
to Alice E. Allard, Nov. 19, 1890.To
this union was born three children, all girls, Edna L., age 18, Mildred F, age
19, and Anna Christine, age 14.

He died the
morning of Oct. 27, 1909 at 2:17 o’clock, leaving a widow and three daughters,
one sister and two brothers to mourn their loss.One of the saddest features of this
heartrending affair was the fact that his brother John who lives in western Oklahoma arrived only a
few hours too late for the funeral.

The funeral
ceremony at the church (Union Chapel) Thursday, Oct. 28, consisted of a short
song service, followed by a prayer by Elder Martin Ford after which the Modern
Woodmen of American took charge and performed a very beautiful and impressive
service after which the body was consigned to its final resting place in Union
Chapel cemetery.

Undertaker R.
A. Mason very skillfully conducted the funeral arrangements and deserves the
praise of all.

Owing to the
high esteem in which the subject of this sketch was held, the news of the sad
accident and death cast a gloom over the entire community that will no soon
wear away.All that loving hearts and
willing hands could do were of no avail.The reaper Death called him and we were left sad and lonely.To the heart broken widow and daughters a
sorrowing community mingles it tears with yours in this sad hour.

Indeed a man has
gone who was remarkable in many respects.Handsome in appearance, a sunny disposition, quite and reserved in
manner, judicious in forming opinions, always guided by purest motives, placing
honesty in dealings and devotion to his family above all earthly duties.

His high
character and kind regard unconsciously won all hearts to himself and without
effort held them to the end.

Our loved ones
pass away one by one.We are lonely
without them.Shall we never see them
again?Memory turns with lingering regret
to recall those smiles and the loved tone of those dear voices.“They visit us in our dreams, floating over
our memories like shadows over moonlit waters.”When the heart is weary with anguish and the soul is bowed with grief,
do they not whisper thoughts of comfort and hope.

We feel sad
because they are gone from us; but while we weep, they are clothed in garments
of light and sing songs of celestial joy.They will not return to us as before, but we shall go to them and share
their pleasures and compete with them in the path of endless enjoyment through
a never ending eternity.

“Farewell,
good man, good angel now!

This hand,
soon, like thine own, shall lose it’s cunning, too:

Soon shall
this soul, like thine,bewildered stand,

Then leap to
thread the free, unfathomed blue.”

spirits to await the coming of her Lord and Savior.

The clouds of
sorrow hang deep and heavy upon those who new and loved this beautiful life and
character, but her faith and the faith of the living in eternal things, lifts
this curtain of darkness and then we all seem to hear the voice of our Savior
so he says: “Well done thou good and faithful servant.”

BORRON, Ralph

SUICIDE AT
ETHEL

Ralph Borron Takes Ounce of Carbolic Acid

Last Saturday
evening between six and seven o’clock the citizens of Ethel, 12 miles northeast
of Bucklin, were greatly shocked when the news went out that Ralph Borron, a young man just in the prime of life, had
committed suicide by swallowing an ounce of carbolic acid, which caused his
death in less than two hours.He was a
bright young man, and no one dreamed of him taking his own life.

From what
information we were able to gather of this sad affair it seems that the young
man had quarreled with his parents about something just before taking the
drug.It is stated that he refused to go
home to supper saying he “would never go there to eat again,” at the same time
taking the small phial from his pocket and drinking its contents before his
father, who was near him, could prevent it.

We did not
learn anything that would lead one believe that domestic trouble had anything to
do with bringing this sorrow upon his family, but on the contrary his home was
a most amiable one, and peace and happiness reigned supreme.

Deceased was
married last May to Miss Tressa Riley of Marceline,
and most of the time since his marriage he had worked in a general store for
his father, W. H. Borron, at Ethel.

Some two months
ago he and his wife went to Kansas
City where, we understand, he went to work for the P.
O. & G. Co., as telegraph operator, but they only stay about three weeks,
when they returned to Ethel and he again went to work in the store with his
father.

Deceased was
quite well known in Bucklin, having at one time held the position of telegraph
operator for the Santa Fe
at this place.

Funeral services
were held Monday at the Presbyterian church in Ethel at 11:00 a.m., conducted
by Rev. W. H. Johnston of Callao.Interment in the Ethel cemetery.

BOWERS, James H.

P I O N E E RD E A D

Had Been a
Resident of Bucklin for Fifty Years

Monday morning,
we were once more reminded of the sad intelligence that death is abroad in the
land and the spoiler is among the works of the Almighty.

All that are
born must die.

We have seen
the beautiful rose on the house plant, spread its leaves to the morning
sun.We returned and behold it was dying
on the stalk, its grace and form had gone, its loveliness had vanished, its
leaves had fallen, to the ground and no one gathered them again.

So, it is with
man, he comes forth in the pride of his strength, his cheeks glow with beauty,
his limbs are full of activity, he walks, runs and leaps and rejoices that he
is more excellent than the rose.

The grim reaper
of death comes along and behold life departs from him, the breath leaves his
nostrils, and he departs to another land.

The life of the
rose is lost and decayed, my brother:The life of man goes forth to God and lives forever.

James H.
Bowers, born in Tennessee,
January 8, 1827:Died at the home of his
sister, Mrs. M. E. Maddock, of Triplett, Saturday,
October 1, 1910.

Funeral was
held Sunday at the family residence and the remains were brought to Bucklin,
Monday and laid to rest by the side of the remains of his wife in the Masonic
Cemetery.

Deceased was 83
years of age and was one of the first to reside in Bucklin, having lived here
for fifty years.He was highly esteemed
and loved by all who knew him and had been a faithful Christian and a member of
the MethodistChurch for nearly forty years.

He leaves a
sister, Mrs. Lessie B. Greer, of Ft. Madison, Iowa, and two brothers, B. B. Bowers, of
Triplett, and A. R. Bowers, of Hale.

A large number

sheaf of ripened grain.

parents to Howard County, Mo.After a
few years residence, there, they moved to old Bloomington,

womanhood.Here she met Hughes Burch,
and they were married about the year 1827.To this union thirteen children were born, six daughters and seven sons,
all of whom grew to maturity except two, who died in infancy.

Grandma Burch,
as everyone who knew her would fondly call her, lived the balance of her life
in the vicinity of Bloomington.In 1865, she was bereft of her earthly
helpmate, Grandpa Burch having been laid to rest in that year.

In early
girlhood she professed a living faith in Christ, and lived a consistent
Christian life, and when her spirit was called above, she passed away in the
triumph of a living faith.She died
February 6th, 1908, at the ripe age of 95 years, 9 months and 5
days.

She is survived
by two children, Mrs. Jane Whitfield and Mrs. Amanda Cook, both of whom live in
the vicinity of Bloomington.

were held at the residence of Mrs. Cook, where Grandma died, services being
conducted by a missionary Baptist minister, after which all that is mortal of
Grandma Burch was laid to rest in the old RossCemetery,
beside the remains of her husband, on Friday, February 7th, at one o’clock.

second child that these grief stricken parents have been called to surrender to
the hand of death since last October.He
had been sick for more than a year, and for the past six months seemed
lingering between life and death, until all vitality seemed exhausted, his pale
and emaciated form only left to tell of the unequal struggle.These lights of home when lost to our view,
become jewels of him who said, “Suffer little children to come unto me and
forbid them not, for of such is the kingdom of Heaven.”

CARTER, George

GEORGE CARTER DEAD

Found by the Santa Fe Track
Sunday morning

Last Sunday morning the friends
of former neighbors of Geo. Carter were startled by the intelligence that he
had been found dead, about a mile and a quarter southwest of town, on the Santa Fe railroad grade, a
few feet from the ends of the ties.He
was discovered there, cold and stiff in death, by Pat Graham.Some deeds which had fallen from his pockets
had convinced Mr. Graham that the dead man was either Mr. Carter or an Ethel
man who was the other party in the deed.John Snider a brother-in-law of the deceased was called to identify
him.Mr. Carter who for several years
has been a business man in Marceline, was at times addicted to the excessive
use of strong drink which indirectly at least was responsible for his death.He had been at Ethel, on business last
Saturday, and in a drunken condition was returning home on the Santa Fe local, which left Bucklin about
dark.He had paid his fare as far as
Bucklin but when the conductor attempted to collect the fare to Marceline,
Carter failed to pay, and the train was stopped and Carter was put off.It was a fearful night, cold and a northwest
wind which soon carry a chill to the very marrow of a strong man’s bones, much
less to a man already in a drunken stupor as was Mr. Carter.When Mr. Carter was found, there were no
evidences of violence, yet his head and face were covered with blood.His family had the remains taken home to
Marceline, where the Coroner was called and summonsed a jury to investigate the
matter.The verdict was ; “cause of
death unknown.”There are various conjectures
as to the immediate cause of his death, and the indications are that there will
be a litigated case between the family of the deceased and the Santa Fe company.

Mr. Carter was about
fifty-five years old, was a soldier in the civil war, and since early manhood,
a resident of Bucklin township until going to Marceline to engage in business.

CARTER, James

At Rest

James Carter was born Dec. 23,
1823, in Tazewell county, Virginia of English parentage.Here he lived until he was about 28 years
old.In 1845 he was married to Miss
Sarah Hendricks whom he had known since childhood.To this union four sons and one daughter were
born, the last two being born in Linn county, Mo., In 1854 he with his family removed to
Missouri, settling in Randolph county for the winter, coming on to Linn county
the spring of 1855.He settled in
Linneus for one year then came to the Bucklin vicinity, where he spent the
remainder of his life.

On June 13, 1880, he was
bereaved of his earthly companion.Marrying again about 1882, to Mrs. Warren, they lived together about 18
years, when he was again bereaved of his wife.About 1900 he was married to Miss Jane Smith, who survives him.

For the last five years they
have lived with the children, as they were too feeble to take care of
themselves.After coming to Mo. he was converted and united with the MethodistChurch.But afterward became one of the Charter members of the Christian Church
at Bucklin.

Uncle Jim, as he was fondly
called by those who know him best, always lived a conscientious Christian life,
devoted the cause of the Christ he loved and served so long and
faithfully.And when the summons came on
Sunday morning, June 14, 1908, he was fully prepared to go, feeling he had
performed every duty that had devolved upon him.

He was gathered home like a
ripened sheaf, at the advanced age of 84 years, 5 months and 21 days.

The funeral was held at WyandotteChurch, Monday, June 15, at 11:00 o’clock.The services were conducted by Eld. A. Munyon, after which the
remains were laid to rest beside those of his first wife, in the Wyandotte cemetery.The large concourse of people attending gave
evidence of the high esteem in which he was held by all who knew him.

CARTER, James

Obituary(Contributed)

James Carter was born in Tazewell County, Virginia,
December 23rd, 1823.

There among the rocks and
mountains he spent his boyhoods days.

Being of a large family with
father of only moderate means, who could not afford to educate his children to
any great extend in those days the early advantage of him of whom we write were
not of the best.

At the age of twenty one he
was married to Mrs. Sallie Hendricks, whom he had known and loved since
childhood.While yet to Virginia there, was born
to the union three sons, George, Alex and Press.

Naturally ambitious, and
energetic, with a longing to secure greater temporal blessings and advantages
for his family than that land of rocks and springs could possibly yield, (for
as yet they knew but little of the untold wealth that lay beneath them) he
turned his eyes toward the great north west and chose for his goal, “Missouri,
fair land of promise.”

It will not be known this
side of eternity, the extent of the struggle this father and mother made as
they bade farewell to their native home, so kindred and all earthly friends and
started on that long and tedious voyage this untried wilderness.

Reaching here in 1854, the
year of the droth, their labors were hard and their
disappointments and heartaches were many.There was born to them in Missouri
a son, Ralph Napoleon, and a daughter, Sallie.

The father chose a site for
permanent home stead about four and 1 ½ miles north west of Bucklin.Here the children were reared in a home where
love devotion and self sacrifice were every where evident, and were rightly
prepared for the great battle of life.

In 1880, the mother was
called into the great beyond.The father
James Carter, was afterwards, married to Mrs. Jemima Warren with whom he lived
happily for almost a score of years; when the Death Angel again entered the
home taking the wife.

In 1900, he was again married
to Jane Smith, of Bucklin, who survives him.

Never was aged man blessed
with a more faithful companion than was he in his last days with what tender
anxious solicitude she cared for him, so patiently cheerfully and untiringly
until his death on the night of June 13th 1908.On Monday, June 15th, his remains
were laid to rest in Wyandotte
cemetery.Funeral services were
conducted by Rev. Alfred Munyon, pastor of
deceased.The body of this dear old
father, was followed to the grave by a host of sorrowing relatives and
friends.A stepson Jonathan Hendricks.All of the children except the oldest son,
George, who died a few years before.Fifteen grandchildren, and seventeen great children are left to mourn
the loss of a kind, indulgent father and grandfather.

“Dearest grandfather there
will ever linger in our hearts kind memories of the devoted life.

In our hearts there is left
an aching void for thou didst so sympathize with us in all our sorrows and
disappointment and rejoice with us in all our joys.

Our burning tears fall
quickly when we remember how proud thou wert of each victory gained by thy
loved ones, how sad thou wert at their defeats.But dear Grandpa we will not too deeply grieve, remembering that thou
didst so often say, because of the weariness of that tired old body, “only
waiting” and knowing that thou didst answer so gladly to the call, we will dry
our tears and so live that we may clasp hands with thee on the shores of the
unknown.

April 23 at 3 p.m. by the faithful craft.He leaves two brothers and one sister, a daughter, five stepchildren and
a heart broken wife to mourn their loss.

Bro. Cash was a man of noble

his fellow man, but never an unkind word to say about anyone.He settled on a farm 2 ½ miles south of
Bucklin, where he lived until he was elected treasurer of Linn County, then
moved to Linneus and at the expiration of his term of office moved to Bucklin,
where he spent the remainder of his life.He was once elected one of the member of the county court and a number
of times a justice of the peace.For
over 35 years he held some office of trust at the hands of the people.

Thus a good man passes beyond
our reach; thus another soul has entered into rest.The funeral sermon was preached to a large
circle of mourning friends by Rev. L. Sipple.The bereaved have our sympathy and prayer
that the Master will sustain them in their deep distress.At the grave we all said; “Bro. Cash,
farewell until we greet thee in a world that’s free from sin, where we will see
the Blessed Give and dwell forever with Him.”

CATON, Sarah Frances (nee Switzer)

OBITUARY

Sarah Frances Switzer, was born in Virginia,
October 2, 1838.Here parents were
Lawrence and Nancy Switzer.In 1852, she
with her parents and the rest of the family came to Missouri, locating on the farm since owned
by Uncle John Switzer her brother.Here
she grew to womanhood, and on August 31, 1859, she and Luther T. Caton were married.To this union seven children were born, of which two died in infancy,
but five are still living, two boys, Leo and Harry, and three girls, Bell Letteer of Straud, Okla., Mrs. Addie Whisenand, and Mrs. Carrie Carter, of Marceline.

Just before coming to Missouri, she was
converted and joined the MethodistChurch, in which
connection she lived all her life.She
and her parents were among the Charter members of the congregation at the
Switzer Chapel.

She retained her member ship with this congregation as long as she lived.

About 17 years ago Mr. and Mrs. Caton moved to
Bucklin, where they have continued to make their home.For the last year or more, she had not been
well, and on Feb. 6th, last, she was confined to her bed.Since that time she has grown steadily worse,
until death relieved her sufferings, on last Thursday, April 9th, at
11:20 a.m. at the age of 69 years, 6 months and 7 days.

During all her illness, she was never heard to complain but through it
all her unfaltering faith in the Christ she had loved and served so long and
faithfully, sustained her and when the end came it can truthfully be said that
she “fell asleep in Jesus,” for the end was peaceful and painless.

The funeral was held from the MethodistChurch, at Bucklin, at
3:00 p.m. conducted by Rev. H. W. Buckner from the text Rev. 2:10,“Be thou faithful into death, and I will give
thee a crown of life.”After which the
remains were laid to rest in the beautiful Masonic cemetery.The beautiful and impressive ceremony of the
Order of the Eastern Star was rendered at the grave, after which the remains
were hid from mortal eyes, there to rest until the resurrection of the just.

She leaves five children, nine grandchildren, two brothers and a sister,
besides the aged husband, a host of friends all of whom feel their loss keenly.

CHILDERS, Malinda (nee Williamson)

AT REST

The sad and sudden death of Malinda Childers occurred at the home of her
brothers and sister of Bucklin, Mo.,
on June 25, 1908.She had been in
delicate health since the death of her husband which occurred some time
ago.She had recently returned from a
Sanatorium in LincolnNeb. where she had been for treatment.The superintendent of that institution wrote
her brothers that by persistent treatment, she would entirely recover.

On last Friday while the brothers were out on the farm, and her sister
out of town Mrs. Childers, as is supposed, undertook to replenish the fire and
in doing so her garments caught fire and when her sister returned she found her
outside of the house dead, with her garments nearly all consumed.On Saturday after a brief religious service
at the home, the remains were conveyed to the BucklinCemetery,
and after a very impressive service, conducted by the Daughters of Rebecca, of
the Bucklin Lodge, the remains of the recent sufferer were laid away to rest.

Mrs. Childers was born on May 7, 1863, was united in marriage to A. J.
Childers, Dec. 28, 1889.

For some time before the death of Mr. Childers his health failed and he
was a great sufferer, but through the goodness of the Williamson family, he and
his wife were permitted to go to any part of the country that they desired and
to have the best entertainment and medical skill that the land could afford.

Since the death of her husband, Mrs. Childers has also been a great
sufferer, but has had every care that thought, means and affection could
provide.

The writer of these lines has never known a more beautiful home life than
has been led by the Williamson’s for many years and I am sure they have the
heart felt sympathy of the entire community and the writer of these lines in
this hour of deep affliction.

COEN, Lena Maude

In Memory of Lena
Maude Coen

“It must be sweet, in
childhood, to give back the spirit to its Maker, ere the heart has grown
familiar with the ways of sin and sown, to garner up its bitter fruits.I knew a child whose infant feet had trod the
blossoms of some seven springs, but when the eighth came round and called her
out to reveal in its light, she turned away and sought her chamber to lie down
and die.”

The dear child was born
October 4th, 1903, died August 30th, 1911.Age 7 years, 10months and 26 days.

While she was spared to us,
she was always a dutiful, lovable child.Before she could speak a word, she could hum the music of several songs,
plainly enough that we could tell distinctly what she was singing.

She started to the public
school the day she was five years old.We asked the teacher if it was all right for her to be in school, and
was assured that she was welcome.For
Maude was such a lovable child.She
attended every day that school was taught in her room, from then on, until she
had the measles last spring.She was a
regular attendant at the M. E. Sunday School, never missing a day if she was in
town.So that when she was taken sick,
several of the neighbors came in to see why Maude was not at Sunday School that
day.She told her little companions that
she would be there next Sunday.But it
was not to be.And before the third
Sunday came, she was with the angels, singing around the throne of our dear
Savior, who said, “Suffer little children to come unto me.”

In a case of this kind, words
are such poor things!It is impossible
for us to express the deep sorrow we feel.Our baby is gone!But we know our
loss is only temporary.It is only a
short time till we shall clasp to our hearts again, in that land where parting
is unknown.What concerns us the most
is, to live in such manner that when it comes our turn to pass over the river,
we may hear the Savior bid us a hearty welcome.

The funeral was at the MethodistChurch at 4:00 p. m., last Thursday.Six little girls dressed in white, her
playmates, were the pall bearers.The
sermon was preached by her uncle, Rev. Amos Coen, of Chillicothe, after which the little body was conveyed to
the MasonicCemetery, and laid to rest.Then we “took up the burden of life again,”
saying only it might have been.

In this connection we wish to
thank our many friends for the kindness and consideration shown us during our
bereavement.

The church was full, and a
great many stood in the church yard.We
have no words to adequately express our appreciation of the many acts of
kindness shown us.We can only pray God
in His mercy to spare you this sorrow as long as He can.

meet thee, to clasp fond hands on the other shore where God himself shall wipe
away the tears from our eyes.Let us
hope we shall walk hand in hand in the shade of heaven’s bowers, and as we then
view the radiant shores of the heavenly world, we can recount the trials and
privation of our earth life with the blest assurance that never more can
sickness, sorrow or death separate us, and that we shall then bask in the

most kind and lovable women, Mrs. Margaret Cooley.Her death which occurred at five o’clock
Sunday morning, was caused from Bright’s disease and
heart trouble, from which she had been a sufferer for the past two and one half

life had been despaired of, but at times she would rally and new hope was again
taken that she might outwit the disease.She was a patient sufferer and glorified God in life and death and when

COX, Missouri Jane, Mrs.

Obituary

After a long
and faithful life of love and devotion to her family and to the cause of right
living, Mrs. Missouri Jane Cox, was called to her reward on April 22, last at
the home of her son-in-law, Louis Bergersen, in Chicago, Ill.,
after an illness of some two months.

She was born at
Madisonville, Tenn., Feb. 9, 1831, being 77 years old when
she died.She grew up to womanhood where
she was born, beloved by all who knew her, and in 1850 was married to Edward
Cox, who was born and reared at the same place.In the year 1853, they moved from Tenn.
to MontgomeryCountyIll., where they lived some two years,
when they decided to go farther west and moved to LinnCountyMo., in 1855, locating
about seven miles north of Bucklin.

Here they lived
nineteen years, and up to this time, nine children had been born to them.During these years she experienced all the hardships
of pioneer life, and struggled through the perils of the Civil War, when it
tried the souls of all good people to bear the many trials, hardships and
dangers.In 1874, she moved back to Tenn. to take care of her aged parents, who did not
survive long afterwards, so that in 1877, she removed to Mo., again, this time settling in South West
Mo., at Arcola, where she and her husband lived nearly 26 years, but during the
last 16 years, they had lived temporarily at Lockwood, at Clinton and
Warrensburg, Mo. for the education of their children while Springfield, Mo. was
their home at the time of their deaths.During all these long years of devotion and toil, she applied herself to
the care and right training of her children, only five of whom now survive her,
Thomas S. of Hillsboro, Texas,
James U. of Springdale, Ark.,
Alvia R. of ElCoco, Old
Mexico, and Rachel and Alice of
Chicago, Ill.

She was a woman
of strong personality and decided convictions on all matters relating to the
proper conduct of life and thoroughly impressed these principles upon the lives
of all her children.

But few mothers
have left a richer inheritance to her children in the way of proper training
and noble principles of manhood and womanhood than she has.Her own life was a living example of all
those traits of devotion to her husband, to home and to the family, and she
died as she lived, true to all that was good, pure and noble.

She was ready
to leave this world and expressed a desire to go to her Master.She felt that her lifework was done, and that
she was ready to meet her Lord.She died
true to the faith of a devoted Christian and said she was ready and willing to
go.

She departed
this life, for a home in Heaven on April 22, 1908, surrounded by her children
and friends, and was laid to rest by the side of her faithful husband at Arcola, Mo.
who had gone on before her some two years ago.

She heard God’s
clear voice in the darkness:

Oh, let us all
thankfully weep

He has called
her, His Child, beloved,

And now mother
has gone to sleep
